How do I upload my school / organisations images to It's Our World Gallery?

Follow the below steps to upload images to the It's Our World online gallery:

1. If you have been contacted by It's Our World regarding uploading images to the online gallery you will have been provided with a unique PIN code. Click on the 'REGISTER' button and input your PIN code. This will take you to another page where you can input your school or organisations details. Fill these in making sure you fill out EVERY field.

2. You are now ready to start uploading images. Click on the 'Upload Your Picture' button. You will be taken to the below page. Ensure you fill in ALL fields including name and age and select the county your school is in. It automatically starts on Aberdeen so ensure you click on it and then scroll down to your county. Click on 'Choose file' and select the image you want to upload first. To upload another image click 'Add Another Image' and follow the same steps until you have uploaded all the images you want. Then press 'Proceed' and your images should start to appear in the gallery section of the website.

I have been provided with a PIN but it is not taking me to the next page to fill out my details?

There are 2 things that could be stopping you from being able to proceed to the next stage.

1. You could be using an old internet browser. Please check what version of Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer or Opera you are using. If it is anything older than 2 year’s please update your version. As a standard we recommend that you use Google Chrome but others will work as long as they the most up to date.

2. Your code could have some formatting on it. Go to this website: http://jhy.io/tools/convert-word-to-plain-text - copy your code into the first field and then click the 'Clean' button. Then copy the plain text version of the code that appears and paste it into the PIN section of the website.
